The Bronx:Where to eat when the Yankees play?
 

My husband and I are traveling to NYC this week and planning to see the Yankees play an afternoon game. What are some suggestions on where to eat around the stadium or close by? Also, is there any thing to do in The Bronx after the game?
Thank you!

You eat at the Stadium. the other things to do in the Bronx (the Zoo and Botanical Garden) are not near the Stadium. After the game you return to Manhattan. (Yankees Stadium is in a neighborhood hat has not yet been gentrified - so you don;t want to stay there after the game. the very tall building in the background in the Bronx House of Detention - county jail.)

I haven't been yet but the new Yankee Stadium has TONS of food options. NYY Steak may be of interest, it's in the stadium and billed as 5*. The website is nyysteak.com. There's also a Hard Rock Cafe.

Or if you are seeing a day game, you may want to go to Arthur Avenue for an early dinner (that is the Bronx' "little Italy").

You will need to take transportation of some kind to reach Arthur Avenue from Yankee Stadium--it is not walkable distance, nor a neighborhood recommended for walking by those unfamiliar with the area.

We like the West Indian place, The Feeding Tree, on Gerard Avenue, for inexpensive food before games; here is their menu. We usually get one of the chicken dishes. It is a just a block or two from the (old) stadium. Lots of Yankee fans there on game nights.

If you want to combine great eating and going to a ball game then the place to go is not Yankee Stadium but the Mets' Citi field in Flushing. Take the 7 train to one stop beyond the stadium and you will be in the heart of Flushing and a selection of some of the world's greatest Asian cuisine. This area is home to an affluent Asian community and they demand and know what good food is. Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, et al. Many have received rave reviews in magazines, newspapers, and Zagat.

Flushing IS a fabulous place to eat if you like Asian food!
